Peanut Butter Temptations By MaryJean

About 40 reese's peanut butter cups, miniatures
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 egg
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1-1/2 cup flour
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt

Heat oven to 375. Remove wrappers from candies. Line small muffin cups (1-3/4 inch diameter) with paper baking cups, if desired. Beat butter, sugars, peanut butter, egg and vanilla until fluffy. Stir together flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to butter mixture, beating until well blended. Shape dough into 1 inch balls; place one in each paper-lined or ungreased muffin cup. Do not flatten. Bake 10-12 minutes until puffed and lightly browned; remove from oven. Immediately press peanut butter cup in center of each cookie. Cool completely in muffin pan.

These are great! We made them for Seth and Alex's baptisms and everyone loved them. Thanks for reminding me of them.
